Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Assembly Bill 1013 introduces a time limit for the matching monetary amounts given to FoodShare recipients for buying fruits and vegetables. Specifically, these matching amounts will now expire no later than one year after they are issued, and any unused funds will stay with the nonprofit administering the program instead of going back to the state. This change ensures that the funds are used in a timely manner, encouraging recipients to purchase healthy food and allowing the nonprofit to assist more individuals with the matching amounts.
